557 7th Street was a House of the Day back in 2009 when it was asking $2,200,000. The sellers never got their price but that hasn’t stopped them from returning to the market this week with a new asking price of $2,400,000. The single-family house has been extensively renovated since it traded for $1,460,000 back in 2006 (an admittedly great deal at the time). It’ll be interesting to see what it fetches this go-round.

  1. Also attended the OH; also was very negatively surprised with the state of the home. It had step-up plumbing [never seen that in Park Slope!], crumbling plaster, and purely costmetic updates (paint, wallpaper) trying to disguise a very worn and dated home with very cheap finishes. Less than 17ft wide; no A/C, no original or even real wood flooring (looked like a white-washed composite materal) and, the iceing on the cake for me was the ‘master’ bathroom, where the doorless shower, tub and toilet/sink are centered against the large front of house window facing the street [hello neighbors!!]. Should go for $1.75-1.85m.

  2. Great place in many respects but wary of description in mint fully reno condition. Attended Open house and saw some big cracks in the walls, crown molding, and back yard, water damage and peeling paint. Someone will fall in love with this place as it is charming bu t do your homework re: soundness of the structure and cost of repairs. Not as mint as described!

  3. I like the location, I like the house itself, I bet this goes for about 2.1-2.2, Just a hair outside of my comfort zone.

    Did everyone see that the place adjacent to prime 6 went on sale today?
